Canberra Earns £50m For U.K.
The Canberra jet bomber which first flew 10 years ago. has earned more than £5O million in export orders for Britain, much of it in dollars.
Twenty-three marks of Canberra have been produced in Britain for service with the Royal Air Force and the air forces of New Zealand, Rhodesia. India and Peru. In addition, Australia and the United States have built nearly 500 machines under licence out of the total of 1329 Canberras built since 1949.
Poultry farjners were subsidising wheatgrowers because of the “unfair premium” of 2s a bushel paid for their lower grade lines of grain, said the general manager of the New Zealand Poultry Board (Mr A. E. Bridle) at the annual meeting of the Canter-bury-Westland Registered Poultry Breeders’ Association last evening. “In my opinion this is a very unfair charge,” he said. Wheat which did not come up to the higher standard was passed on to the poultry farmer who was forced to pay 2s more under the new price scheme for low quality grain.
